Marietas Island Catamaran Tour with Snorkeling, Open Bar & Kayaks

This full-day catamaran trip heads to the Marietas Islands, listed at about 600 minutes in total. It combines water activities, food and an onboard party atmosphere, and the operator's pitch is an all-in day on the water with snorkeling, kayaks and an open bar.

The day begins with a continental breakfast delivered to each passenger's location, including hot cakes, fruit, yogurt, granola, honey and juice. You also get information about the tour and instructions for the activities. Once at the islands, you can snorkel, kayak or ride a paddle board, with the necessary equipment provided.

If you prefer to skip the water activities, you can go out in a panga for bird watching and visit Nopaleras Beach instead. Lunch is served on board while the catamaran sails around the Marietas Islands, and the crew shares information about them. On the way back the mood changes: the open bar, with alcoholic drinks on the return leg, karaoke and games are all part of the trip, and there is music to dance to.

For practical planning, bring your swimsuit, towels and extra clothes, wear comfortable clothes and shoes, and use biodegradable sunscreen and insect repellent. Insurance on board is included. Government fees are not: the listing mentions the SEMARNAT bracelet at 10 USD. The activity is suitable for all fitness levels and public transportation is available nearby, but it is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health or who are pregnant.

On the subject of pregnancy, the operator states that it reserves the right to refuse boarding to any pregnant passenger, at any stage, for safety reasons, and that buying a ticket or trying to board means accepting that policy. If this applies to anyone in your group, ask before booking. No meeting point is listed, so confirm where and when to board.
